kiloHearts has released its Faturator effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.

Grit, oomph, fatness, raw, color, or just that certain something. Sometimes your sounds need a shovel of dirt. Faturator is standing ready to tear whatever you throw at it apart violently, and then gently (but firmly) put it back together fatter and rawer than ever.

Faturator can do everything from adding subtle and warm gritty character to your sounds to slam them into a wall of heavy saturation and digital fuzz. Contrary to many distortion effects, Faturator will preserve the dynamics of your sound and work its wonders on it regardless of input gain.

Turn your leads into screaming monsters, or add some extra fatness to your basses.

Faturator features

• Warm saturation.
• Fuzzy distortion.
• Sound coloring.
• Stereo widening.
• Dynamics preserving.
• Faturating.
